Folks, all that ammo has to come from somewhere. It doesn't just magically show up at the store. Rueger had to susspend taking orders for several months last year jsut to catch up on the massive amount of backorders. Could be the millions of people panic buying have milked the cow dry for the moment.

It's like others have said. People have been telling folks to stock up for years now. If you just decided to make a trip to the store, you have waited too late.

"God forbid we should ever be 20 years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all, & always, well informed... If they remain quiet under such misconceptions it is a lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty... Let them take arms... What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants. " - Thomas Jefferson in 1787

Says the person who lets the government place cameras in school bathrooms, jails people for self-defense, makes all of your choices for you. But at least your safe right with all those liberties you gave up, right? Nope, one of the most violent countries in Europe and a much higher violent crime rate than the U.S.

A little double-standardish there as if that hasn't already happened here in the states. Don't know about your area but in mine we've already got camera monitored bathrooms, dressing rooms, hospital emergency exam rooms and the list is still growing.

Feed the hungry, visit the sick, free a captive if he be unjustly confined(kidnapped/enslaved by someone). Assist any person oppressed, whether they're of the Muslim or non-Muslim. - Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wasallam)

Just called my local walmart, guy there is a Vietnam vet and "awake" and very squared away. He says that he has not heard of any official policy.

He says that he just cannot keep things in stock. As soon as the order comes in they are all sold. Had 100 rounds of .223 sold in less then an hour. Also said that he used to be able to get "pallets" of shotgun shells, now he can only get boxes. All his powder is gone, pistol primers are down to 500 and rifle primers are gone. good luck finding .22LR

That being said, he did not expect things to get any better and said that things are only going to get worse.

That's Right...before the year is out..you had better learn what others have know for several years now..reload reload reload,save and trim that brass...

De-Nada.Fuck it all at this point, the country is screwed and if you believe otherwise that it is worth saving then FUCK YOU!It is not.

100 rounds in less than an hour? That's not very much.... Do you mean boxes or cases?

My walmart never sold powder and primers ever. Didn't know that any of them did....That's news to me...

Exactly right.

Don't expect supply/availabilty and price to get better for at least 6-8 months.

If you're out there scrambling trying to buy up any ammo you can find at any price, then most likely you are part of the "problem". YOU are who THEY are trying to manipulate. Understand? You are being driven over the cliff like buffalo.

I think his point was that that 100 rounds was all they could get in an order and there were people waiting there for him to stock it.

Most if not ALL Americans cannot walk let alone MARCH at a pace more than half a mile without getting side aches.You guys have nothing on the soldiers who in just basic have to run miles under minutes and march vast distances at a uniform pace.What can billy bob the Cami wearing fool do if he gets winded taking the stairs?All the guns and ammo in the world are useless against military trained soldiers and the equipment they have at their disposal which ironically you pay for and will ultimately used to to spank you.

They have the resources and you do not. Bitching about a box of ammo being scarce when they buy it by the billions of rounds in one day?Holy fuck you guys are dumb.

I mentioned that people should wait till the prices come down after the panic. He said they will never go down. He noted the prices of the components and base metal prices.

He also noted how the economy is still in the crapper and nobody is talking about it.

This same guy has a network of vets that are prepared to lock down the whole state to keep outsiders out. Told you this guy is squared away, been in the game a long time, even casts his own bullets

This assumes that these trained soldiers will fight and kill their neighbors and families for a corrupt government. If you were to talk to some of these active and vets you will see they are for the most part awake to things

Ugh nope. You are in for a rude awakening. These same troops who suddenly will grow a conscience when it is Americans they are ordered against and not the peasants of some foriegn land they shot without thinking or questioning?They will do what they are told because guess what... a culture exists and it is called getting a check/money/food for you and your own family, screw others.This is the mentality prevalent today. When is the last time you have seen someone open a door for someone else or carry groceries for a little old lady?Very rare yes?What has happened in other countries will happen here and ANYONE who believes otherwise is a fucking tool.Your faith and your fucking hope mean Nada.

Most of us aren't looking to fight a war. I know i'm not...Most are just concerned their ammo supply is going to be cut off so they are stocking up....
